I don’t usually make journal on Sunday but I make an exceptional for this Sunday (June 19th) because I want to note down on the things on my mind in detail on this journal.

I keep 2 diaries. One is on a regular book at home and the other is my journal on this blog. I usually write things more in detail on this blog. My diary at home just store important notes. Not detail.

So I’ve caught fever out of the blue yesterday at around 9.30 am just in the middle of class activities. Once I was home my parents, especially my father, insisted to take me to the doctor in the afternoon.

I sometimes compare my parents with the parents I meet in school. How different they are. There are parents in school who allowed their kids to go to school eventhough the kids have clearly shown signs / sympthoms of them being unwell (a little girl’s parents even let her went swimming with us when she was having flu!).

It is true that I & most people want the kids to grow up strong, tough, independent & resilient physically and mentally but we have to know when we have to teach them to be that way & when to protect them.

So I’ve never been a parent. I’ve never given birth to a child. But I’ve seen samples of parenting from the parents around me.

My own parents for example. They had 3 kids. 2 died as toddlers. One is out of pneumonia at the age of 2 months old and the other was 5 year old out of dengue fever. The only one live to this present time is their oldest child. Me.

You may think or say it is what makes them so paranoid and over protective to me. I agree. But sometimes those are what saved me from worst things. I must be grateful for that because I tend to go easy and tough on myself.

When I lived and worked in Jakarta, later in Indramayu, I fell sick few times because I didn’t take care myself properly. I ate when I wanted, what I wanted and in the amount that I chose myself. Now how that wouldn’t make my body ran out of essentials stuff needed to keep it healthy and strong?

More over, I like it better to be around my parents when I get sick because they won’t let me bath or shower when I clearly show signs of being unwell let alone allowing me to go swimming nor would they allow me to go to work at such condition. They provide me the shelter, care and love that I need. It plays a huge impact to recover.

I think it is what make my parents special. It is true that sometimes I find their paranoid and over protective annoying but sometimes they are necessary to protect a child. Any child.

Who is Keke?

I am a person whose life is full of surprises. Have a degree in banking management but after spending about 11 years moving from one office job to another, I ended up teaching in kindergarten from 2005 to 2011. Due to some reason I had to resign from that kindergarten as I have got myself.. yep, another office job. Something that I never thought I would do again for a living. Writing in this blog continues though. I just want you to know what is this former kindergarten teacher does & thinks after she resigned from her teaching post. I like my present job but I know I am a teacher. One day I will teach in school again.
